PETITION: No More Petitions

[teh_meh]

They don't work. And they're annoying. If you simply MUST stomp your feet, please petition (silently) with your wallets like the grown-ups do.

This is NOT how you get things done people!

First, we need to organize a meeting to set a date to have another meeting to form a committee to debate whether or not we should even be having a committee to begin with.

Second, get a focus going to gauge public response to said possibility of a committee.

Third, get rid of the first focus group because they're idiots and they like Justin Beaver.

Fourth, elect a committee chairman to preside over the decision making process over what to serve at the next meeting. (I want gyros)

Fifth, ouster the chairman because he doesn't like gyros and ordered Chinese instead.

Sixth, put out a tv spot during primetime calling into question the former chairmans manhood. Order gyros.

That should do it.

Seriously, y'all need to learn how to politic.

That's one of those things you don't bring up in public.
You are henceforth banished on pain of lag from any future politicking! ;p

Yea much progress has been made in the world through the power of silence.

From now on, everything I dislike, I won't talk about.... then people will know I dislike it.

/strange logic ftw.

We should take a poll to see if this petition will have any effect.
I know, lets start a petition for it!

[EbbOnFire]

I would have /signed this if the thread had been titled "LET'S TALK: Petitions".

Ohh, we should petition for that thread to be started.

I'll get the committee together.

[Dagolar]

You mean... petition them to join in on starting the petition?

[Chauncey1]

No, that's too easy.
Please refer to my previous post upthread regarding the proper way to "get things done".

Do you worry more when your woman is yelling at you...or when she doesn't talk to you for 2 days?

Trust me, Turbine will notice if you don't log on for a few months. They have programs that track and flag stuff like that and those spreadsheets get read...by important people.

You forgot about the committee to decide if it would be worthwhile to organize a meeting to form a committee to discuss such things. :)

As I've said numerous times in the past... IT"S JUST A FREAKING GAME!!!

If you can't have fun playing this game, go somewhere else......PLEASE.

[Jerevth]

lol. Darn necros...
nevermind

[Deslen]

Yes! No more feedback! No more ideas! No more... game.

:rolleyes: While I understand the annoyance of some petitions, the devs *do* pay attention.

A little less wining would be nice, and more constructive feedback would be better, but your OP sounds like "Just don't talk about things you want anymore."

Pay for the game/don't pay for the game won't give the devs any direction to go off of on what they need to improve.

Justin Beaver?

petition (silently) with your wallets like the grown-ups do.

I feel obligated to mention this is simply impossible if the petition one wants to create is one for any kind of new content. Petitioning with your wallet only works on things that you can pay for; you can't pay for content that doesn't exist. Similarly, if you own everything already, how are you supposed to "withdraw" your wallet? Now if you have most of your things via VIP, obviously you can stop subscribing, but that also solves nothing if you do it silently because no one knows what the heck you have a problem with. A ton of things come with VIP, and one may choose to withdraw support because of something that isn't even part of VIP, and simply unsubscribing doesn't tell anyone anything about why.

This kind of 'petition' is effective when you can pay for particular things continuously or repeatedly, which is rarely the case in this kind of game. The one other thing I can think of which one might stop paying for in this game is a ton of consumables, if one is buying a lot of those, but this has the same problem as VIP: no one knows what you're taking issue with.

In general, people are more likely to listen to your thoughts and consider your requests when they know what your thoughts and requests are. As far as I can tell, there isn't really any way for you to make these known only by monetary support or lack thereof, so the 'silently' portion of this really won't accomplish anything. Best to additionally create a forum post informing people of your decision and motives, at least.


EDIT: I definitely didn't pay attention to the date on this big lol.

I'll get the committee together.
I move that we should research our options before going that far.
